17 MAY 2023 · Join us on this episode of The Psychology Talk Podcast as we delve into the extraordinary realm of entheogens and the wisdom they hold. Once confined to counterculture circles, the use of psychedelics is now inching closer to the mainstream, with millions of Americans having experienced their transformative effects. Our guest, acclaimed author and researcher Rachel Harris, PhD, sheds light on the evolving landscape of psychedelic exploration and the potential loss of invaluable knowledge as legal and medical institutions embrace these powerful medicines. In her latest book, "Swimming in the Sacred: Wisdom from the Psychedelic Underground," released on May 9, 2023, Harris presents an illuminating retrospective of psychedelics' last fifty years. Drawing from in-depth interviews with female elders who have served as guides in the underground psychedelic community, Harris uncovers the hidden insights, healing potential, and spiritual growth cultivated through sacred entheogenic journeys. While current psychedelic research focuses on therapeutic applications involving limited counseling sessions, Harris emphasizes the need to honor the hard-earned knowledge amassed by seasoned guides. She highlights the disparity between research protocols and the best practices developed over decades of underground work, urging us not to overlook the invaluable wisdom gained through these experiences. Dr. Rachel Harris brings a wealth of expertise to the conversation. With a Ph.D. in psychology and over four decades of private practice, she also spent ten years in an academic research department, publishing numerous scientific studies and receiving recognition such as the National Institutes of Health New Investigator's Award.
